    You stole my heart And I don’t mind, Cause I saw You stole my heart
And I don’t mind,
Cause I saw love love love in your eyes 🐾

Two years ago today, I made the hardest (yet clearest) decision of my life and I chose not to allow my Dixie girl to suffer. I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support I received here and from Dixie’s and my family and friends, the visits with some of her favorite humans and dog friends, the many MANY treats, the walks, and the snuggles before she passed over the rainbow bridge in my arms on 6/13/21.

I truly couldn’t imagine life without her, my baby dog, and thankfully, the countless wonderful memories I have, and her unconditional love has stayed with me and helped me to build a new life for myself. Yes, I still grieve her physical presence every day, but I couldn’t have been more lucky to have been her human ❤️❤️❤️❤️
    When I was first diagnosed with MS seven and a hal When I was first diagnosed with MS seven and a half years ago; I couldn’t picture what my life would be like. Flares, surgery’s, symptoms, and learning to “manage” took up years of my life but taught me many valuable lessons. I couldn’t be more grafeful for the support of the MS community on worldmsday and always 🧡

Im happy to share that the emotional, physical, nutritional, and mental work I’ve been doing especially in the past year have made a huge difference for me. I am learning to envision a life without symptoms, a life that’s without the struggles of Ms, because I know if I don’t believe that it’s possible, then it most certainly is not. 

I am going to keep betting on myself, healing myself, raising awareness, and becoming my best self and I can’t wait to see what’s next 🧡🧡🧡🧡

    JOY. It was a true joy on a soul nourishing level JOY.

It was a true joy on a soul nourishing level to finally meet the fantastic thecathychester in person this week! I feel like I’ve know her and we’ve been friends for years (forever?!) but this week we were finally able to meet for an outdoor lunch. And it was so fabulous, we lost track of time 😂 Multiple Sclerosis can be a bitch of a disease, but the people I’ve met because of it are truly some of the very best I know. And I didn’t realize how much I needed a joyful escape with a good friend until lunch with Cathy. ❤️ 

Joy is necessary, joy is healing, and joy is a form of resistance especially while living in a chronically ill body in today’s society. Don’t forget that you are worthy of it and worthy of putting your needs first too, as Cathy so kindly reminded me ❤️❤️❤️

Let me know if you can relate at least 🤷🏻‍♀️

This was too relatable, relevant, and funny not to remake 😂😂😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing in so many ways, but I do know I’m not going to take myself too seriously!
    It’s an emotional week for me… yesterday my Gr It’s an emotional week for me… yesterday my Grams would have been 92 and today marks three years since my Grandpa passed away. 

I am the luckiest to have been loved by them both and to have had such a strong bond with each of them. My grandparents joyfully dancing at my parents wedding (mom’s mom and dad’s dad) reminds me that my parents were married at a time when an Italian Catholic woman marrying a Jewish man wasn’t accepted by many… and yet both sides of my family welcomed each other with open arms. ❤️

My grandpa and my grams both showed their love in very different ways, but I’m eternally grateful for it, even now. Gratitude overwhelms my grief because I still very strongly feel their love for all of us ❤️

Because even though they are  not physically here, their hears are - they  live on within me. I carry your hearts inside mine. I carry it on days  when I discover something new. I carry it on days when  beauty unfolds in the most unexpected places. I carry it on  days when I find courage to heal and to grow. 
I carry it with me
- always. ❤️

As my grandpa would say, here’s to happy days ahead 🍸❤️
    Ten years ago our lives were changed forever. Whet Ten years ago our lives were changed forever. Whether you were Boston born or made it your home later in life, I know all of us Bostonians will never forget this day. 

Not being “home” on the 10th anniversary feels strange, but Boston will always have my heart. 
💙💛

April 15th, 2015 marked the beginning of a new annual Boston tradition: One Boston Day.

Each year, the day serves as an opportunity to celebrate the resiliency, generosity, and strength demonstrated by the people of Boston and those around the world in response to the tragedy of April 15th, 2013. 

I took this photo on April 15th, 2012... exactly one year before the bombing,, Boston, my home, was never the same after that day again. Yet the strength and resilience of our community  has never ceased to bring me hope 💙💛

    On Monday, I celebrated my 39th birthday 🎉 38 On Monday, I celebrated my 39th birthday 🎉

38 was a hell of a rollercoaster year for me physically and emotionally, but I’m grateful for all of the lessons I’ve learned, the growth I’ve had, and the people that were with me along the way.  Most importantly, I learned how to truly love myself and put myself first, even when it’s hard. ❤️

I’m hopeful that 39 will be my biggest, healthiest, and most joyful year yet. Thank you all for being on this wild ride of life with me 🧡

Today is International Transgender Day of Visibility, a day to celebrate and empower the beautiful transgender and nonbinary community. It is also a day to remind our allies to take action in our fight for our rights, especially given the unprecedented legislative and societal discrimination we are experiencing. Over 400 anti-trans bills have been introduced in at least 44 states. Public figures are openly calling for the eradication of trans people. This is a terrifying time to be trans in the world, and we need folks to step up and stand up for us.

Visibility is a privilege…but visibility without power leads to violence. If you have benefited from the visibility of another trans person, pay it forward by educating those around you and taking concrete action to protect our right to live and thrive in our truth.

The fight for transgender rights is a fight for all of us. We deserve to claim power over our bodily autonomy and live beyond the limitations placed upon us. This is about liberation for all.

Swipe for a few things to do today, especially if you’re not transgender and would like to learn more about allyship.

Thank you, pinkmantaray for all of your amazing work.

    There is no perfect thing to say someone who is ne There is no perfect thing to say someone who is newly diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis or any autoimmune disease.

7 1/2 years after my MS diagnosis, I would tell my younger self that there is indeed blessing in the breaking. The healing isn’t perfect, nor is it linear, nor is it ever finished. But look for the blessings. 🧡
    ❤️You are capable and powerful ❤️ They as ❤️You are capable and powerful ❤️

They asked her,
“How do you get through tough moments?”

She answered,
“Do not trust the way you see yourself when your mind is turbulent and remember that even pain is temporary. Honor your boundaries, treat yourself gently, let go of perfection, and feel your emotions without letting them control you. You have enough experience to face the storm and evolve from it.”

    March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month and we March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month and we’d love to know, what would YOU like to share with the world about MS? 

Personally, I’ve lived with this mostly invisible disease for over seven years now, and I’ve found that people are often surprised to learn that Multiple Sclerosis doesn’t discriminate. It can cause a variety of symptoms for ALL types of people regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, location, or age. I hope that sharing this fact about MS will lead to more general understanding, awareness, kindness, and support. What would you share? Reply back via video by tapping the sticker on my reel or share it with us below.

Of course, if you’re also someone living with Multiple Sclerosis, know that you do not have to go through it alone! The twill_ms app is free and offers safe community, expert support, and helpful tools. You can download it now via the link in my bio. #ad

    Talking nutrition and supplements with Jen Haynes, Talking nutrition and supplements with Jen Haynes, Shape Reclaimed Practitioner from heartofpeacewellness for  Multiple Sclerosis and Autoimmune Awareness month! 

Of course, we aren’t doctors, and we aren’t giving any type of medical or nutritional advice on this live, we are just sharing our personal experiences. 

I’ve tried many different protocols to help improve my MS symptoms, but shape reclaimed drops, and the nutritional plan have been the first things to make a true impact in reducing my pain and improving my overall life! 

The Shape drops are designed to reduce inflammation and help to regulate your hormones, and I personally also have been able to lose 20 pounds in the last two months. Jen has lost 90 pounds since November! I was considering trying ozempic (or similar meds)  to help me to lose weight, since I’ve been personally struggling with some stubborn steroid and stress gain, but I’m so grateful that I saw Jen’s progress and tried this first. 

Truly, the weight loss is  just an awesome side effects of the true health benefits to this program. 

If you want to learn more be sure to contact Jen and speak with your doctor before changing anything in your nutrition plan  or adding new supplements. 🧡 #MsAwarenessMonth #AutoImmuneAwarenessMonth #ShapeReclaimed
    It’s been over a week since I got home from the It’s been over a week since I got home from the mssociety Public Policy Conference, and I’m still struggling to find the words to describe the experience. 

Not unlike living with Multiple Sclerosis, the three days spent with my fellow advocates and meeting with legislators were emotional, empowering, exhausting, and enlightening. 🧡 I can’t say it enough, MS sucks, but the people I’ve met because of this disease are some of the very best humans that I am proud to call friends. 

And of course, only someone living with MS or chronic fatigue can truly understand the irony of being too fatigued from over doing it at the conference to post during MS Awareness Week, if you know, you know right?! 😂😂😂

These are just a few photos from the week and I’ll be sharing more, but if you want to learn more about how we are advocating for research funding, and improved airline safety be sure to check out the virtual MS advocacy conference being hosted by the mssociety next week!

    May her memory be a blessing and an inspiration to May her memory be a blessing and an inspiration to fierce disabled people fighting to change the world. 

theheumannperspective Judy Heumann was more than the founding mother of the disability rights and disabled pride movements. She was more then her story in Crip Camp, the bills she worked on, and the barriers she refused to accept. 

She was a light and a righteous force for change in this world, not because she was in a wheelchair, but because she refused to accept that it was a problem and worked for her entire life to make this world a more inclusive, equitable, and accessible place. 

In the Jewish community, may her memory being for a blessing really refers to the continued blessing that the person leaves behind, from her good works, good deeds, teachings, example, etc. - from her life so well lived that the goodness should continue to flow. 

Sometimes we wish people fond memories of their loved ones to sustain them through their grief, but this is not really that.  This reference is to the continued blessing of and from the deceased herself, the future blessing that the whole world will derive, the positive outcome of which continues to inure to her collected legacy of righteousness even after death. In learning of Judy’s death, I couldn’t think of a more perfect phrase, especially as I join more than a hundred mssociety #MSActivisits in DC today for the Multiple Sclerosis Society Public Policy Conference. #MSPPC23 🧡
